Louisiana Attendance Alliance
The Louisiana Attendance Alliance (LAA) Initiative seeks to change the thinking around attendance, understanding barriers and critically examining how to better support students and families. Students and families have had to endure many adversities, therefore a statewide attendance alliance has been formed to promote good attendance practices. The LAA supports child welfare and attendance professionals, attendance specialists and other attendance stakeholders by providing evidence-based strategies to address attendance concerns, barriers they may encounter and provide tools to engage students, families and communities. Attendance is a community issue and all members of the community should consider themselves stakeholders.
Child Welfare and Attendance Meetings
Child Welfare and Attendance directors, supervisors, and attendance stakeholders in Louisiana meet every first Wednesday of the month. These meetings are currently held in collaboration with LSU’s Social Research and Evaluation Center.
